HR & payroll software in Dubai & the UAE
UAE payroll has local mechanics that generic HR tools may not cover: salary files for the Wage Protection System (WPS), end-of-service gratuity, leave rules and document expiry tracking for visas and Emirates IDs.
We show only what each vendor's own website confirms. Always test a full payroll run, including the WPS file, in a demo before you switch.
What UAE businesses should check
WPS salary files
Check that the system generates the WPS salary information file (SIF) your bank or exchange house accepts.
Gratuity
End-of-service gratuity should calculate automatically from contract type and service period, with a report you can reconcile.
Employee documents
Visa, labour card, passport and Emirates ID expiry alerts save fines and last-minute renewals.
Pricing
HR software is usually priced per employee per month. Ask for the total at your headcount, including payroll and onboarding modules.

Questions
What is WPS in payroll software?+
WPS is the UAE Wage Protection System for paying salaries. Payroll software helps by producing the salary information file your bank or agent submits; confirm the exact file support in a demo.
Do international HR tools support UAE payroll?+
Some do, some only handle HR records. The table marks WPS and gratuity as confirmed only when the vendor states it for the UAE.
